There's a meme going around where you post the fifth sentence of your 23rd post. I wasn't really going to do it (I hate the ones where you have to tag people, and I know some folk find such things annoying - including me when people post them without the innovative lj-cut technology). But when the sentence in question is "The chansaw [sic] wielding freaks never smite their victims charging down Fifth Avenue," it's kind of criminal not to share.

what does [sic] mean anyway?

I was just forcefed Lilo and Stitch, which I had never seen before. It was surprisingly sweet and tasty. And completely cracked. *shakes fist* I poop on Disney for closing their 2D department after cranking out lame sequel crap. Bah. But this was good. And now I've seen it, so y'alls can shut up now. And yes, I'm working on firefly. Myeh.

*sigh* cranky and hostile this evening. Not sure why, and all hormone related reasons have been eliminated. Eh. It was that sort of day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

[sic] is used when misspelling or bad grammar occurs. it is to say that the statement was orignally misspelled, and not the fault of the current writer. used frequently in interviews.

oh, yeah, i knew that. i was just wondering where and how it originated.

sic is latin for "thus". it's what people put when they're quoting someone and want to show that any errors, misspellings, etc, were in the original person's text and not a typo on the quoter's part.
